Ive got a budget of around $400 to get started.

It seems as if the Flex outperforms the PC which would help since I will be detailing trucks, tractors etc.

What do I need to get started? I will mainly be detailing white vehicles with slight to severe swirls (midwest).

Links would be appreciated as well.

 

if you got the money, yes go with the flex. i went with the pc because i got a problem spending money on car parts. i only have three full details under my belt but tried different things during that and will be sticking with the menzerna polishes because they are user friendly. there is also meguiars m205 and m105 which i have been told that they work better with rotaries, which i am scared to death of.

for farm vehicles, i would use a sealant instead of a wax, especially since they are mostly white (by the way can you tell me what it is about farms and white, no pun intended, i live out in the country and all my buddies are farmers and i was the only racer...they all have white trucks, i got a red one and they looked at me as if i was a sinner) for sealants i have had good luck with poorboys world exp sealant or get duragloss 501 which will outlast just about anything out there.

dont forget the ccs pads and mf towels and a waffle weave guzzler towl. pakshak has the best towels that i have used.

 

Thanks for the input!

Is autogeeks the best spot to pick up supplies?

 

yeah, cheapest place i have found for supplies.

as for sheepskin mitts: excess detail

and for mf towels: pakshak has the softest mf towels and waffle weave towels

and you didnt answer my question about farm rigs and the color white? haha, just messing with you. have fun

 

You know thats a damn good question, its just something about white.

But all of our tractors are green

 

nothing runs like the green ones!
